In the same study, were amplified sequences that had their closest GenBank relatives in Exophiala salmonis strain reported in a work pertained to molecular systematics of the Herpotrichiellaceae (Untereiner & Naveau 1999). We also amplified sequences with identity to the same E. salmonis (with the same accession code) from roots of O. pauciflora. More- over, we found sequences with identity to fungi belonging to the genera Leptodontidium and Phialo- phora. Julou et al. (2005) amplified sequences relating to the same genera from C. damasonium
roots and they suggested the putative ectomycor- rhizal ecology for Phialophora.
